Choosing a Pushchair Travel System

Choosing the perfect pushchair for your family is among the most important decisions you'll have to make as a parent. There are a lot of aspects to consider, whether you choose a travel bundle due to its convenience and cost savings or a separate frame and car seats that are compatible for maximum adaptability.

This handy guide will help make the right choice for your lifestyle and requirements.

What is a travel system?

A travel system is an infant pushchair that is able to take the baby car seat and some include the option of a carrycot too. New parents will appreciate this option as they can easily transfer their baby's sleeping infant from the car to the pushchair.

A quality travel system will click onto your pushchair frame and fit snugly into your car. This ensures a comfortable journey for your child. It's also a practical option as it means that you only need to make one big purchase in the process of getting ready for the arrival of your child and will typically cost less too.

There are many kinds of travel systems available that range from budget-friendly options to top-of-the-line brands like TYPO or JANE. A lot of them come with a matching changing bag that is a perfect match and car seat accessories, and should you want to simplify your life, there are travel system bundles that include everything you need in just one purchase. This is the most efficient way to make sure all components work. No more searching online for a car seat that works and then figuring out that you need adapters too!

What are the seat recline options?

If you decide to go with a travel system that comes with a carrycot, ensure that the seat is fully reclined to ensure your baby is able to sleep comfortably and is in the recommended lie-flat position for respiratory and spinal development. You should also consider whether the handlebar is adjustable in height to ensure it is comfortable for you and your companion, or any other person who may use it regularly.

Most 'from birth' pushchairs have a reversible seat unit so that you can choose the position of your child's seat, either facing you (to encourage their communication skills) or world-facing to stimulate their curiosity and allow them to be aware of where they are. Some travel systems come with an reversible seat unit that is attached directly to the frame of the pushchair without having to take it off. This allows you to easily transfer your child from the car to the stroller, and in reverse.

Make sure the car seat you choose is compatible with your pushchair, as not all infant car seats can be connected to all pushchairs, without adaptors. Some travel systems include all the adaptors you need included in the box, while others might require them to be purchased separately. You can find out if this is the case by examining the product's specifications or asking at your local retailer.

How easy is it to manoeuvre?

Carrycots are light and easy to attach, but they should be used for newborns up to 6 months old. They should always be used with a pushchair that can lie flat to allow the baby be in a fully reclined position which is ideal for their spinal and lung development. Carrycots are easily attached and are light. They're ideal for infants less than 6 months old and should be used with a lie flat pushchair. This lets the baby sit in a reclining position, which is beneficial for their spine development and lung development.

It's important to remember that the majority of the brands have designed them to work as a unit. You can be assured that everything will fit and perform well. Shopping in one place is convenient and almost always costs less than buying items separately. It's an enormous benefit to be able to transfer your sleeping baby from the car seat to the stroller in order to go to the nursery or to shop without disturbing them. Travel systems are worth the expense.

How easy is it attaching an automobile seat or a carrycot?

Most 'from birth' pushchairs can be linked to a baby car seat or carrycot to allow simple transitions from your car to the street. This is perfect for newborns because it allows them to rest in a flat position.

The majority of travel systems come with a separate stroller. However, some like the Doona or the Evenflo Shyft DualRide, have an all-in-one design, which means that the car seat folds into a foldable pushchair. A majority of travel systems come with a separate stroller seat but some, like the Doona and the Evenflo Shyft DualRide, have an all-in-one design that allows the car seat can be folded into a pushchair, and then folds back to be inserted into the vehicle's base.

If you choose to use a car seat or carrycot on your pushchair, make sure to carefully read the instructions and adhere to the age, weight, and size limitations. Verify whether the car seat and pushchair are being recalled due to safety reasons.

Many pushchairs have additional accessories that can help enhance your experience, such as a footmuff can help protect your child from the elements, whereas a parasol, made from SPF/UPF 50+ fabric, can keep them shaded when it's sunny. Some pushchairs also have an inflatable ride-on board, which is perfect for toddlers who are ready to take on the world on their own, but require some help.

What is the weight restriction?

A pushchair travel system is usually designed to be able to accommodate infants until a certain age and weight. It will differ based on the car seat and pushchair combo you select, and your personal needs, so it's important to review these specifications carefully. It's also important to test the brakes on your chosen model. They should be strong and easy-to-operate.

Many brands include infant seat adaptors as part of their travel system packages. This allows you to attach the car seat of your child onto the frame of the stroller. This allows you to get out with your baby much easier. It also ensures that when your baby is no longer in their car seat and carrycot, they can still utilize the stroller. This is a great choice for families that have busy lives and lots to do daily.

How easy is it to fold?

There are a range of fold styles available on pushchairs - some are completely one-handed, by pressing one button. Some folds require two hands, or a few steps, but they are still extremely compact. Some models are even able to stand up when folded, making it easy to hold. This model is ideal for those who commute or reside in a city and need to make the transition between car and pushchair seamless. Or if you only have a small car boot.

Based on the model, some travel system pushchairs can also be used from birth, by adding a carrycot or infant car seat. Those that can are often approved to be taken in the cabin on flights and are ideal for parents who do lots of travelling with their family.

If you opt for the car seat and double pram pushchair bundle, this is the most cost-effective way to buy. The bundle is created by the brand that includes the car seat and the pushchair designed to work in tandem. Alternatively, some pushchairs will specify the car seats they are compatible with and you can purchase a separate seat (though this may require car seat adaptors). The Babyzen YOYO is Gemma's pick for the best travel systems that are lightweight stroller, thanks to its innovative features and one-second folding.

What do you think it looks like?

A travel system bundle offers convenience, security and cost savings. The bundles are created by brands or retailers. The components are selected by hand for their compatibility. This means that you don't need to spend time researching which car seat will work with your dream pushchair, or searching online for a sock or changing bag that complements the design.

These pushchairs are usually made up of a frame that can fit into the car seat group 0+ and include a carrycot, or seat unit, that can be used either forward-facing or in the opposite direction to the parent, based on your preference or regulations (rear-facing is recommended in cars up to 15 months). Some can even be converted into twins/tandems if you're expecting more than one baby.

If you are planning to spend a lot of time driving and walking, a transport system is a great choice. It is simple to transfer your child from the car to the pushchair and back without having to disturb them or find a secure parking place. They can also help you save space in your car's boot, making it easier for you to pop into the shops or take your child to school.
